global/public variables

[seidel]

is there a way to set variables globally throughout an application?

You might want to use defines.

define('MY_VARIABLE', 'text of my var');

then in any script, including in classes or functions,
echo MY_VARIABLE;
(yes, no $) will echo
text of my var

BTW, globals suck...you should be able to find a better way to do whatever it is you're doing.

I agree w/Tom, it's probably better to simply include a function that you call when you need some environment (e.g., app-global) vars. This will make it easier to see who has access to the variables.

function GetAppVars(&$sAppName, &$nAppNum) {
$sAppName = "Foo";
$nAppNum = 12;
return (true);
}
